👉 Air pollution in the Himalayas is causing severe haze, reducing visibility and affecting tourism in the region. 👉 The haze is formed by a combination of pollutants like dust and smoke particles from fires, reducing visibility to less than 5,000m. 👉 The trekking industry is in deep trouble, with many operators experiencing a 40% decrease in business. 👉 The haze is affecting not only Nepal but also the Indian and Pakistani sides of the Himalayas. 👉 Even the western Himalayas in Pakistan are being relatively less affected.
